~4]~l~Fe~t~, the month of April marks the 31th anniversary of the signing of the
Fair Housing Act. This Act, as amended, prohibits discrimination against
individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or
national origin in the sale, rental, or advertising of dwellings, in the provision of
brokerage services, or in the availability of residential real estate-related
transactions.
~j~l~re~t~, the denial of equal housing opportunity is one of the most serious
challenges a community can face. It is a challenge that must be met and
surmounted lest it erode the vital social structure that holds a community together
and gives it shape and dimension. The need for shelter is an essential human need.
The right to freely choose a place .to live is a basic human right and discrimination
in housing not only is against the law, it is contrary to our own sense of what our
country should mean to us and to others.
~I~TpFi~RB, there are voluntary programs in support of fair housing that we as
concerned citizens can join and support at every level in our community and in our
jobs. There are personal and professional attitudes that we can and must change.
These efforts are fair and just and necessary if we are to make fair housing a basic
right for ourselves and our neighbors.
Now, therefore, I, Ernest W. Lehman, Mayor of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, do
hereby designate the month of April 1999, to be
in Iowa City. I urge all of our citizens to join in this observance by resolving to
fight discrimination in their personal daily lives and by making themselves aware
of the Fair Housing Law and the ways in ' ' ' .
